I barely knew anything about him before the election but he got such props on here.

There’s more to this story than we’re seeing.

Or a LOT of FReepers were wrong about him and I doubt that.

Compromised? Blackmailed?

Any ideas?

Jmo. I believe Sessions had perfected the technique of saying the right conservative things in the Senate where his lone vote never made a crucial difference. I.e.: it’s easy to pander to the base if you know that with 99 other votes, the Senate will always do right by the swamp.

Now Sessions is supposedly the person in charge of the DOJ (though of course Rosenstein actually runs it). Sessions doesn’t have 99 ‘right thinking,’ voters to hide behind and he’s a fish out of water. Too many years in the swamp-Senate made him constitutionally incapable of being a strong leader.

He solved the problem by recusing and putting the swamp in charge. Essentially he’s recreated the Senate at the DOJ. I.e.: he’s created a situation where his lone vote counts for nothing and the swamp always gets what it wants.
